Guest guest Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Although I don't post here often, I have posted a couple times regarding an upcoming IEP for my bilingual apraxic child who will be enrolled in an immersion program. I have worried and prepared for what I thought would be a huge battle. After much research on bilingual speech services, rights, duel languages and apraxia, and even contacting an advocate (who didn't offer much hope in my direction due to lack of research)I finally had my son's IEP today. With little to no reaserch on bilingualism and apraxia, the immersion school's past regarding IEP's with the second language I held little hope. It was all for nothing. I got the SLP to sign off saying that he would receive speech services with 25-50% of the practice time in Spanish. It isn't the ideal way I would have liked the therapy presented but now that bilingual services are on the IEP there is precidence for more services in the future. At least this way is he is working on the /s/ sound then words and phrases will be in English and Spanish. This should hopefully help with the carry over. Thanks for listening. I had to share this with a group that would understand the exitement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
